Climb for Kids Kilimanjaro Challenge

"The only way I can describe how I feel, is that this has been the most gruelling, painful, physically and mentally torturous, and fullfilling week of my life. I have shared the biggest challenge with an amazing and wonderful group of people, and I already know we are bonded for life. We laughed, cried, and clung to each other for dear life, and that was just in the niteclub last night!! lol YIKES!!!

Seriously, some amazing friendships forged, and I will never forget these folks. Ever! To Paulie, Sile, Jenny, Ruth, Sharon, Alan, Kathryn and Karl and co....... WE DID IT!!!!!!! Love you guys big time!!

I am heading home to see my beautiful wife Michelle and my 3 angels Joshy, Ava and Sophie.

My body feels like it has been hit by a train, but it was worth it for the cause. Thanks so much to you all for donating, and helping Crumlin Childrens Hospital in process."

"So nice to walk out at Dublin Airport this morning and have a few hundred people cheer us home, along with various media. It was sad to part with everyone, even if it was just a week, but I think we shared so much that it felt a lot longer. BTW....we have officially raised in excess of 250,000 Euros for Our Ladys Hospital Crumlin!!"
